I wouldn't do burnouts on my bike just cause its too expensive to replace tires and the excessive noise ticket. Had my fun when I was younger, burning out tires and generally wrecking vehicles. I got other avenues to put money out other than replacing needless juvenile antics.
My 11 year old just loves when I drop him off at school on the bike. It has to be at the front door and he doesn't let me shut the bike off while I'm picking him up or dropping him off, guess its the nanny nanny boo boo look how I'm getting to school and he makes sure all the other kids know that he is the only one who gets to ride on the bike to school that I've seen.

Plus, it's my ol' lady's scooter, and I totaled her last one (no, I wasn't doing a burnout, got hit by a car) so I'm trying to be extra careful with this one.

I do a small burnout at least once a week when I'm riding through the shop at work. 90% of the time it pushes the front tire, so there's a small skid mark from the front tire, and a larger, darker one from the rear. I've also got a narrow 21" front tire, but my rear is little narrower than yours (160). The shop floor is fairly slippery, dirty concrete. Not a big deal, as long as you anticipate it.
It works better if you're on a surface that the front tire has some chance of getting traction. Just stand up off the seat a bit, grab the front brake as hard as you can, rev it up, and dump the clutch. Don't over do it with the throttle at first, make sure there's nobody in front or behind you, and don't over react.
I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle that I haven't at least tried to do a burnout with.
